View Liked Posts on Instagram
Most Instagram users would like to re-view or share a liked post, but finding the right section in the app is not the easiest task. Some people like posts as a tool not to forget important information, but then cannot find it when truly needed. In this article, we will thoroughly analyze where the liked posts section is located, how to find it on Android and iOS phones, and what to do if liked posts have disappeared or are not displayed. This material will be useful for both beginners who are just getting started with the social network and experienced users who actively like posts and want to quickly find important publications.
Why it's important to know where liked posts are stored
Instagram is a huge stream of information. Every day, we scroll through hundreds of posts: recipes, memes, useful tips, news, friends' photos. We like posts to express admiration or simply mark a publication. But time passes, and the desired post gets lost in the endless feed. Scrolling the feed again in search of one photo takes hours of invaluable time. It is for such situations that Instagram has a hidden but very useful section called "Posts You've Liked."
This feature is indispensable in the following cases:
- You forgot to save a recipe, interior design, or useful instruction, and only remembered it a week later.
- You need to find an old meme you liked six months ago to send to a friend.
- You are looking for a blogger's account that you accidentally discovered and liked several of their photos, but forgot the name.
- You want to clear your activity and unlike posts that are no longer relevant.
Knowing where to find this section turns the chaos of thousands of viewed photos into a convenient archiving system.
Where the liked posts section is located
To find publications with your likes, you need to follow a specific path in the application settings. This is not the most obvious navigation, but once you remember it, you will get to the right place in a few seconds.
Step-by-step instructions for the Instagram mobile app
Step one. Open the Instagram app on your smartphone and make sure you are logged into your account.
Step two. Go to your profile. To do this, tap the icon with your avatar in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Step three. Go to "Settings." To do this, tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) in the top right corner. In the drop-down menu, select "Settings."
Step four. In the opened settings menu, find "Account." It is usually located at the top of the list.
Step five. Here, in the "Account" section, is the coveted "Posts You've Liked" section. Tap on it.
Step six. Done! This is where all the posts you've liked are collected. You can scroll through them in chronological order.
Where the likes section is in different app versions
The Instagram interface changes periodically. Developers move buttons, change menu item names. To ensure you find the "Liked Posts" section, here are some guidelines for different versions.
For Android devices (Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Google Pixel)
The path usually looks like this: Profile → Menu (three lines) → Your activity → Interactions → Likes. Or: Profile → Menu → Settings → Account → Posts You've Liked. Depending on the year of the version, the item may be called "Likes" or "Liked."
For iPhone (iOS)
The path is similar to Android: Profile → Menu → Your activity → Interactions → Likes. Or: Profile → Menu → Settings → Account → Posts You've Liked. On iOS, the interface is usually more unified, and the section name is most often "Posts You've Liked."
How to view liked posts via computer
Instagram was originally created as a mobile application, and its web version was long limited. However, the website's functionality has now significantly expanded.
Instructions for computer (browser):
Step one. Go to instagram.com and log in.
Step two. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner.
Step three. Click on the gear icon next to the "Edit Profile" button or simply go to the settings link.
Step four. In the left menu, find "Posts You've Liked." Unfortunately, in the web version, this section appears and disappears with updates, but as of 2026, it is present there. The web version is not very convenient for viewing due to the small window, but it allows you to quickly copy a link to a post without pulling out your phone.
How to use the liked posts section
Once you find the coveted list, new possibilities open up that many people don't even realize.
Deleting old likes
If you want to clean up your activity (for example, unlike posts from an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend or an old meme), you can do it in bulk. Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the list screen and select "Manage Likes." You will then be able to select multiple posts at once (checkboxes) and tap "Unlike." This hides your activity from the post's author.
Saving and reposting
By tapping on any post in this list, you can save it (bookmark icon), send it in Direct (direct message) to a friend, or even share it in your Stories.
